Have you ever thought that your smartphone might be making you stupider? It turns out, you’re probably 100 percent right about that.
A recent study found that, by simply blocking mobile internet on smartphones, researchers were able to improve mental health more than antidepressants, subjective well-being including satisfaction with their own lives and attention span.
The crazy part? The study only took place for two weeks — and after just, again, *two weeks* of not having a smartphone with internet, participants reported spending “more time socializing in person, exercising and being in nature.”
Yet another reason to get rid of your phone — not that we’re going to, of course.
